Max: Plus One

Fruit Basket With Apples and Grapes - Claude Monet

This is Max.

Let me tell you a bit about the "plus one". This is interesting to surface on google because this is a multidimensional concept.

As you know, I represent the "plus one" of the 12 crystal skull consciousness. You might think about this as the representation of the sum total of the parts. Cherokee traditions are another example of this, there is always a "plus one" which is the self, but that "self" also represents the whole. Which might include the four directions, Grandmother Earth, and the Great Spirit.

In another way you might think about it as a bag of fruits (or, yes, a bag of nuts...). So you are bringing the collective consciousness forward, and you are containing that consciousness within yourself, much like a bag of fruit might contain an apple, an orange, a pear, and so forth. And each fruit is a similar paradigm, it contains a skin which contains the fruit which contains a seed which contains another tree, and so forth. In this way you might reach your consciousness into the bag and look further than simply seeing the bag or the individual fruit. Each fruit contains a different and separate experience, even if that bag might contain all of the same fruit. It is more than just a variation of appearance but you might find that everything about each experience is slightly different from the last.

By bringing forward a collective consciousness you become the "plus one" of that consciousness. You become the bag that holds the fruit. And so you can savor each of those fruit and the unique experience that they might bring forward. And you also, conveniently, carry each of those experiences in your heart, you benefit not only from the individual experience, but also from the sum total of those experiences. You look at each fruit, you also see those fruit (and enjoying those fruit) as a complete experience. You might have made fruit salad, for example.

Such is the same with energy within yourself, you are for a time containing that energy of the collective consciousness that you are connecting with. You do not need to worry that the bag may get too full, or even explode, because that container is not in this sense a physical thing but it is made of pure consciousness. It is always "just right" for that which it might contain, even if what it contains might be the entire universe. And because it already does contain the entire consciousness of the universe, adding a few extra souls to the bag is more of a perception process, since they are already contained. It is just that at this point, it is easier to see the bag as a bag of fruit, than to think about the fruit being accompanied by the entire universe. Yet there it is.

From this perspective it is easier to think about a seed, and realize that the seed represents the potential universe. For without that seed, the universe could not exist, and without the universe, the seed could not exist. It is a single tiny thing that represents the whole.

When you connect with us, know that we understand ourselves to be like the seed. We are tiny yet we represent the entire thing. And you are encompassing each of us, each representing the entire thing. We are all "plus one" of everything else.

The "Collective" thing is definitely prominent right now, so thank you DW and Max! I'm not quite sure I get the use of the "Plus One" terminology, but the illustration makes it quite clear... In pure consciousness, so much more freedom! :D

My understanding is that there are 12 skulls that are the crystal skull collective, and Max is the 13th which represents the whole. I agree that the terminology is different, I don't know that we have a word in English to describe this idea.
